2016 Emails Between Wilshire Center BID And The City Of LA or Tara Devine

Subject: Re: Materials for State of the BIDs Report

From: Tara Devine

Date: 04/1 1/2016 03:42 PM

To: Wilshire Center BID

Andrew replied almost immediately after I sent it to say it looked great.

No reply from Jessica or Miranda yet. I will probably have to follow-up to get feedback, I was going to give them a couple of
days before I do, but perhaps Andrew would want to make room and push this up to Thursday's agenda if no one has
significant feedback?

There may not be a lot of feedback one way or the other. I have received very minimal direction/input on my portions of the
project to date, and have usually had to follow up to get feedback. I choose to interpret that as they are happy with the work,
lol :)

I'll ask Andrew if the Consortium assistant can run copies of the draft report for the Consortium meeting. ..or perhaps the City
Clerk can run them, and I'll loop back with you asap if he decides to move this up to Thursday's agenda.

Wow. I think it looks fabulous! Thank you!

I am short on time today for detailed review, although I don't think a detailed review will yield too
many comments from me.

But I took a quick run through it and I think it looks really good, and nothing stood out as an "I would
change that."

Are you okay with my distributing it now to Jessica Lai I, Andrew Thomas and Miranda Paster?

1 ) Attached is a whittled-down Powerpoint layout (feel free to whittle it down still more
in the layout if you like. ..use your judgment.) Miranda reviewed and we discussed
earlier this week. I incorporated her suggested changes (minor.)

2) I previously sent you a link to the Google Drive photos, if you need me to send it
again, just let me know. The name of the BID should be in the filename for all the
photos.

3) Under separate cover, I'll forward some layout styles and/or actual reports that I
like. But feel free to use your judgment or suggest ones you like. It's hard to find
reports online that are similar in nature/content to this one. There are a lot of
business/annual reports and a lot of government reports/studies, both of which trend a
lot wordier than this. This is sort of a marketing "light" format with a bit more
substance - 1 have had trouble finding reports quite like it.

I don't really have any preconceived notions of what the layout should look like, other
than going a bit more modern and/or urban than the last one. I think the last one laid
out the content well, so feel free to use that as a reference as well as my Powerpoint.
I'm attaching the prior SOTB Report in case you don't have it electronically. I have no
attachment to a portrait or landscape layout - your choice.

4) Let me know whenever you need input or assistance - I'm here to help. Thank you
for offering to do this!

Warmest regards,
